The ugly stereotype will end when my grandma installs linux on my pc.
I understand you make a point about gender but people from the 50s didn't let women install linux or drive. That's not to say they can't or shouldn't just that they largely don't to the point they convey the image to immediately give the tech bros an imagine of a user which they cannot fault or shame for not following their excessively convoluted processes which importune everyone. And handbrake isn't much better, for instance tgeir recent refusal to add actually useful presets that user need instead saying "users can just make their own profile if they really want to"
